Front undercarriage with the stock bumper and RPM front skid plate. For those who don't know, the RPM skid plate improves on the steering bellcrank mount by capturing the screw head a little tighter to prevent them popping out, a common problem with the stock design.

BTW i'm going to order a new front skid for my Sl2sh. I've been needing to get rid of the stocker, I upgraded to the 4wd steering saver setup. I'm going to go with the Proline front skid. Thanks for the advice on that fix.

Wow those big 1/8 scale wheels look great on that truck... I was hoping my modding days were cooled off for a while but they look like too much fun, I might have to try em out. Those shocks are ridiculously huge! Love that truck man, perfect example of what a basher slash is all about.

Thanks I appreciate it. This truck has been rock solid for a year or two so it deserved some updates.

Did you have to modify the body to get the clearance for those wheels?

This truck has a roll cage on it now, but a stock traxxas body fits on it perfect with a bit of rubbing at full flex under the fenders. I have them duct taped to stop the paint from rubbing off. I'll post some pics of the old look when I get home.

I like the look of those huge shocks. I also have duct tape on my body probably close to a pound of it though. I also put the tape wherever I thought the roll cage would come into contact with the body. Want as few holes in paint as possible.

I'm surprised how long the duct tape lasts. That stuff sticks forever.

I see what you did to mark your shock springs. How are the Losi Ten-T's holding up for you? What weight oil did you go with? Stock 30wt?

Thanks, I've been working on the 'fleet' for a while, tweaking things till I got 'em how I like it.

I use 30w rear and 35w front... at least I think it's 35w. I mixed 50/50 30w and 40w because I didn't have 35 wt on hand and it handles pretty good. And those springs came marked like that and they were brand new, I'm not sure who did it but it makes sense.

Do you recommend mounting 1/8 buggy or stadium tires/wheels, or is there a difference? I'm thinking I am ready to get me some adapters but can't quite decide on the right wheels and tires for my 2WD slash. You were right, 1/8 wheels/tires are a lot cheaper than SC! I will probably make back the extra money I spent on the adapters in cheaper tires! Now deciding on compounds... street, all terrain? Hmm...

Yea you can get a nice set of 4 big blocks delivered for about $25. I really like the look of buggy tires on my trucks, especially the Slash and Rustler. For size comparison, check out my pic below of the truggy, 1/8 buggy, Stadium truck (Rustler), Slash.
